  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  The package boot-managed-by-snapd is already in Ubuntu universe.
  The package boot-managed-by-snapd build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
  It currently builds and works for architetcures: amd64, arm64
  Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd

  [Rationale]
   - The package boot-managed-by-snapd is required in Ubuntu main for subiquity so that when the user does a hybrid install, it installs the replacement package.
   - The package boot-managed-by-snapd will generally be useful for a large part of
     our user base
   - The package boot-managed-by-snapd is a new runtime dependency of package subiquity that
     we already support
   - There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
     should go universe->main instead of this.
   - There is no definitive deadline, but it would be great and useful for testing of the canary iso to have the
     package boot-managed-by-snapd in Ubuntu main (the sooner the better).

  [Security]
   - Because this package new (exists since May 2023) there is
     no security history at all.
   - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
   - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
   - Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
   - Package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
   - Package does contain extensions to security-sensitive software (bootloader)

  [Quality assurance - function/usage]
   - The package works well right after install

  [Quality assurance - maintenance]
   - The package is new and does not have any open bugs
     - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd/+bug
   - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

  [Quality assurance - testing]
   - The package does not run a test at build time because it contains
     autopkgtests that test for regressions when in proposed.
   - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing for mantic amd64/arm64
     https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/boot-managed-by-snapd
   - This package is minimal and will be tested implicitly together with the canary ISOs

  [Quality assurance - packaging]
   - debian/watch is not present because it is a native package
   - debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
   - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
   - Recent build logs of the package boot-managed-by-snapd
     - mantic amd64: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd/1/+build/26277455
     - mantic arm64: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd/1/+build/26277456
   - Lintian overrides are not present
   - This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
   - This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies
   - The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
     questions higher than medium
   - Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules:
     https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd/tree/debian/rules

  [UI standards]
   - Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)

  [Dependencies]
   - No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main

  [Standards compliance]
   - This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy

  [Maintenance/Owner]
   - Owning Team will be Foundations
   - Team is already subscribed to the package
   - This does not use static builds
   - This does not use vendored code
   - This package is not rust based
   - The package has been built in the archive more recently than the last
     test rebuild

  [Background information]
  -  The Package description and included README explains the package well
